Cheaper gas pushes consumer price index down 0.3 percent in November

WASHINGTON — A steep fall in gas costs pushed down a measure of US consumer prices last month, keeping inflation mild.

The Labor Department says the seasonally adjusted consumer price index dropped 0.3 percent in November, after a 0.1 percent increase the previous month. Gas prices fell 7.4 percent, the steepest drop in nearly four years. That offset a 0.2 percent rise in food prices.

In the past year, consumer prices have risen 1.8 percent, down from October's 12-month increase of 2.2 percent.

Excluding volatile food and gas, prices ticked up 0.1 percent in November and have risen 1.9 percent in the past year. Higher rents, airline fares and new cars pushed up core prices. The cost of clothing and used cars fell.
